Are you keeping a connection to the server open all the time?
Have you indexed the tables, and built your queries to take advantage of
those indexes, retrieving just the records you need?
Interesting -- data entry (of new records) is not where I'd expect to find a
problem. It would be updates of existing records that I would ordinarily
suspect.
Did you look at the performance tips and hints at Tony Toews' site
http://www.granite.ab.ca/accsmstr.htm? That's the best collection of
information and links on the subject that I know about.

I built a number of Microsoft Access programs in Access 2000. We are
trying to use them now in Access 2003.
I have split the programs and configured them as SHARED in edit mode.
I have tried no locks and edit modes.
I set the frontend on the workstation and the backend on the server
drive that is shared.
What is the problem with them still freezing when multiple users try to
do data entry.
Very frustrated with this application as this never happened to me with
Lotus Approach.
If there is anyone out there that can help me with this I would really
appreciate your expertize.
